Lynn was born September 8, 1955 in Borger, Texas to Tom and Mary Quirk.
He had a work ethic that would put many to shame and consistently worked from “dusk til dawn.” Lynn’s life and talents were multifaceted from restaurants to farming; however his greatest joy was derived from helping others. He had a generous, giving nature and was passionate about children. Lynn was an avid supporter of 4-H and FFA Youth Programs. He invested his time and money to ensure that his children growing up and others that followed knew they had someone to count on. Lynn, at times could be cantankerous and a bit stubborn. He was always right…or thought he was!
He married Sheila Martin in November 2007.
Lynn was preceded in death by his father Tom Quirk and by a step father Jiggs Mosley.
He is survived by his wife, Sheila; his two sons, Travis Quirk and his wife Ashley of Dumas and Jeff Quirk of Las Vegas, New Mexico; his mother, Mary Brooks Quirk Mosley of Eula; his sister, Tronda Foote of Idalou; his brother, Bob Mosley of Cheyenne, WY; numerous other loving family and friends; and his four precious grandchildren, Paisley Quirk, Brody Quirk, Hailey Hawkins and Kierstyn Quirk.
The family suggests that memorial donations be made to your local 4-H or FFA Organizations.
The family will receive guests from 7:00 to 8:00pm, on Tuesday, March 4, at Schooler Funeral Home.
